Yep, not only do polar bears shake like a dog, but they roll around and slide themselves on the snow to get dry. Penguins like Osborne start off with a shake and then some good old preening. Snow! Speaking of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Yup, polar bears have 10 teeth more than you if you are like me and have a big mouth that your wisdom teeth fit into, or they have 14 more teeth than you if you had them forceably yanked from […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
